When opposites attract

Hi

I tap my foot against the pavement waiting for Lily to arrive, checking the clock once again to see what the time was. It had only been thirty minutes but it had felt like hours since she was supposed to arrive. I fall against the wall flopping to sit on the ground below me wondering if it was worth calling her to see where she was or just a waste of time.Trust Lily to be late on a day like this, but what if she has forgot, no she wouldn't forget the date where we are going wedding dress shopping, would she?

I try to call her mobile for the fourth time, not surprised to be hit with the voice mail. Another half an hour and i'm going to call Danny to see if he can pick me up. What if he can't pick me up i did say i would be out for a for a few hours and i would get Lily to give me a lift back, he is probably too busy with work now.

Maybe i would call Lucy she got back from her travels two days ago. I've been doing my best to not see her, procrastinating the fact i have to tell her i'm pregnant. It still sounds so surreal to think about it. There is someone growing inside of me right now.If i keep it i'm going to be a mum, i'm too young to be a mum. I don't even know what to cook for dinner ever night let alone what to do to be a good parent. My mum was never the best parent in the world especially after dad was killed. She went out every night, dated a lot of guys and left me and Lucy broke.

'Hey Lola.' I give her a stare down,

'Forty minutes i have been here waiting for you, where the fuck have you been?' I push my hands in the air waiting for her to pull me off the ground.

'Sorry me and Graham overslept, god your heavy.' Looking more closely at her i could see her hair was a mess and make-up had been rushed over her face. Her clothes barely matching meaning they had to be rushed on.

'overslept huh...? and that still offends me i've only been carrying this thing for a few weeks,'  I see her roll her eyes at me but i brush it off.

'Why don't you call it what it is. A baby.'  Now it was my turn to roll my eyes at her words.

'Technically it's not a baby yet still a fetus or embryo, one of the two i can't remember that far back in school.' I knew she had strong opinions on these situations and wasn't going to let it drop so easily.

'It's a baby.' She gives me a stern look and i know i'm on the border of crossing the line.

'Look lily i don't even know if i'm going to keep it.'  Lily mouth drops open for a second but only for a second.

'why wouldn't you? This is your and Danny's child, with your two DNA. You are basically killing a child by killing it.' I am not surprised by her anger burst out, she doesn't believe in abortion and i've known this since we had that lesson in year 10 teaching us all about it. After the class she said she would never have an abortion as it's not right to kill a person with the possibility for life.

  'Look i don't even know if the thing..'

'Baby.' she says in a fern voice. 

'Look i don't even know if the Baby is Danny's or not.' I say in a whisper not wanting strangers to here me, to judge me. Her mouth hangs open while she takes a few minutes to process what i am saying

'What do you mean you don't know if it is Danny's?' She shouts  I let out a frustrated sigh

'I mean it might not be Danny's' I say in a shout whisper She stare at me for a few minutes trying to figure out who it is.

'Nick?'

'No.' i take a few deep breaths 'Matt's' Once again her mouth hanging open.

'Wait what?!' She shouts again 'When, where,why'
